On the surface, 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' is a fantasy. But for NPR's Gary Duong, the movie parallels some of his real experiences as a child of Asian immigrants, and a gay son.

When faced with the reality of her business and relationship failures, Evelyn is then called upon to fight in the multiverse. Little does she know that these multiverse fights are emblematic of her fights in real life.

She battles alpha assassin Deirdre while also battling IRS auditor Deirdre from trying to foreclose on her business. She fights her alpha father while also fighting for approval from her real-life father, who disowned her for leaving to the US with Waymond. And she has her ultimate test against Jobu Tupaki — the alpha version of her daughter — while also fighting Joy, who disappoints her for not becoming a better person than she herself could be.

In one of these worlds, Evelyn is a movie star who gets to see what her life could have been like without Waymond.In one of these worlds, Evelyn is a movie star who gets to see what her life could have been like without Waymond.Interestingly, Evelyn doesn't fight Waymond. Instead, in the multiverse, alpha Waymond is fightingher side. And there are parallels between alpha Waymond and husband Waymond.

In one of these worlds, set against the glamorous backdrop of a movie premiere, Evelyn is a movie star who gets to see what her life could have been like without Waymond. But in this world, alpha Waymond is the long lost love waiting for her — or maybe she was led to him. After the movie premiere, set in a moody Wong Kar Wai backlit alley, they have the kind of existential talk that every decades-long couple has where we confront our past, recognize our worth and commit ourselves to the future. Evelyn had always thought of herself as the fighter, the one to make things happen. To Evelyn, her husband was a weak but kind man who wouldn't survive without her. Alpha Waymond addresses this view; to him, his kindness helped him survive, just like her fight.
